The New York Post's Page Six reports that NBC has rejected a Super Bowl ad from animal rights organization PETA due to its hypersexualized nature:

NBC pulled the plug on a PETA pro-veggie commercial planned for the Super Bowl because it "depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards," according to NBC Universal's advertising standards executive, Victoria Morgan. The ad, which carries the tagline, "Studies Show Vegetarians Have Bet ter Sex," shows lingerie-clad stunners getting "intimate" with vegetables.

The ad, which carries the tagline, "Studies Show Vegetarians Have Bet ter Sex," shows lingerie-clad stunners getting "intimate" with vegetables. One shot depicts an actress "rubbing [her] pelvic region with pumpkin." Says a PETA rep: "PETA's veggie ads are locked out, while ads for fried chicken and burgers are allowed, even though these foods make Americans fat, sick and boring in bed."

Vegetarians have better sex, and the commercial sure implies they are doing it WITH the vegetables. I suppose a cucumber would be easier than say some ground chuck, or a pork chop, but I sure can't see how that supports their purpose.....

I posted about this on another board. I am glad it got pulled. So many families watch the Super Bowl together. I have a problem with PITA trying to get that played when children will be watching. I dont want to have to explain that to a 6 yr old girl. I do however love the Budweiser commercials with the horses. Very creative and fun to watch.

Not only am I a member of the Michelle says my dog is fat club I'm the president!I can Alpha Roll hair!

Think about it for a second. How much money does a 30 second Super Bowl ad cost? Now, how much did PETA actually have to PAY to get the word out about that commercial? Controversy sells.

Now I have TWO reasons to never eat your cooking. I don't want to know anything about where the veggies have been.

Therefore, I can tell you that veggies or not, you should not trust anyone's cooking. And it has nothing to do with lack of skills. *shudder*

Ok, spill it...

I understand, and am not surprised.
